Download or read book Cardiac CT Imaging written by Matthew J. Budoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality. This is an extensive update of the previous edition bringing the reader up-to-date with the immense amount of updated content in the discipline.
Download or read book Cardiac Imaging Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease written by Aaron Jackson and published by States Academic Press. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac imaging refers to the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for capturing images of the heart and surrounding structures. These techniques comprise ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine (NM) imaging with PET or SPECT. When these techniques are used exclusively for imaging of heart, they are known as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, cardiac PET, and cardiac SPECT, respectively. Cardiac imaging is usually prescribed for screening and diagnosing heart conditions, determining the occurrence of a heart attack and its extent, determining the cause of symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, and determining the status of cardiovascular diseases. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the major imaging methods used for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. The book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in the field of cardiology and cardiac imaging.

Download or read book Cardiac Imaging in Clinical Practice written by Dmitriy Kireyev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise guide to echocardiography, SPECT, CT and MRI, including both the basics of cardiac imaging as well as tables of normal/abnormal values and guidelines. With advances in technology, cardiac CT and MRI are becoming more popular but are often limited to larger medical centers. By including the basics of these modalities, this book provides a comprehensive guide for a wide range of medical professionals. As physicians outside of cardiology often do not have sufficient exposure to nuclear stress tests, this book contains SPECT and stress test protocols in order to facilitate decision-making when ordering tests and interpreting results. Cardiac Imaging in Clinical Practice is a quick reference guide and will be useful at multiple levels of training, enabling the book to be used as a basic and advanced reference source. As such, it is appropriate for students, residents, fellows and staff attendings who want a practical and handy reference to the diagnostic options open to them.
Download or read book Cardiovascular Imaging written by Yi-Hwa Liu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of imaging techniques are available to clinical cardiologists, including nuclear imaging, echocardiography, computerized tomography, and magnetic-resonance imaging. Chamber size, ventricular function, valvular function, coronary anatomy, and myocardial perfusion are among a wide array of cardiac characteristics that can all be assessed noninvasively. Cardiovascular Imaging systematically reviews each of these major techniques and provides clinical data from well-designed research studies. Following a brief overview of non-invasive cardiac imaging and the stress modalities used to detect coronary disease, case-based chapters are devoted to each of the various imaging techniques. The final chapter provides a glimpse of future possibilities, particularly with respect to molecular imaging. The text is illustrated throughout with amply-sized images. Demonstrating the values and limitations of the imaging techniques, the book enables practitioners to determine which test, in which patient population, and for which purpose would be the most appropriate to use.
